When the Coachella Festivalannounced its lineup last month, there was one big surprise that had nothing to do with font sizes on the poster: Canadian dance-metal duo Death From Above 1979, which broke up in 2006, were reuniting to play the festival. Both members had kept busy since the breakup-- bassist Jesse F. Keeler as half of the dance duo MSTRKRFT, and singer/drummer Sebastien Grainger as a solo artist. But the reunion is real, and the duo have reactivated their website to release a statement about it.
